Post intercepted
Last year someone ordered me a duplicate driving licence without my knowledge. They had my name, address and date of birth. The license was intercepted on route to my house in W13 and then was used at a branch of my bank where £1,000 was was handed over and taken from my account. Acting as me, they said they had lost their debit card, but produced the driving license as ID to get the bank teller to hand over the money. I got the money back, but knew that the crime was either down to someone in the DVLA or the Royal Mail. At the time, I reported it to all, the RM, the DVLA and ActionFraud. I heard nothing back and thought well that was is the end of it. Alas, 2 days ago someone tried to open a bank account at my bank using my name and address with the idea of intercepting the debit card when it came. I now knew it was someone connected to the RM. My post had and has not been redirected so I suppose it might be someone more locally, my postman, the local sorting office or further up the chain, I don't know. What I'd like to know though is anyone locally such problems with post being intercepted? As I say, I live in a house so only my family have access to our post. I'd like to hear from anuone who have a similar problem. Perhaps we share the same postman? I live near Parkers the bakers on Northfields Avenue.
